Top words spoken by each candidate. Note "women" for Gillibrand and "fact" for Biden; otherwise, though, lots of mentions of "president", "healthcare", and "people".pic.twitter.com/JpM23b191i

One notable thing: the correlation between polling average and speaking time got a lot stronger this time around -- 0.94 compared to 0.64 last time.pic.twitter.com/S9IXHVUQP7

If we look at the most distinctive words for each candidate, though, other interesting things pop out, including Delaney talking about "impossible promises", Warren saying "fight", Harris discussing "access to healthcare", and Ryan mentioning "union members".pic.twitter.com/4Ka85aLtrF

Gabbard, O'Rourke and Hickenlooper brought up their home states. Gillibrand talked about women working outside the home. Inslee was proud of his record. Sanders brought up Canada. And Biden made frequent use of both "in fact" and "the fact is".

Their moderation still was kinda bad though because they tried to make this reality TV instead of actual debates

I assume this is, at least in part, because candidates were attacking the front runners

Any chance you could do a log-transform on these? Both axes vary over an order of magnitude, also bunch up in the low numbers.

Not everything should be reduced to a number. How many words they got in? Come on.
